3dmq

About this Structure
3dmq is a 2 chains structure of sequences from Escherichia coli k12. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. The crystallographic asymmetric unit of the solved structure contains 2 monomers of RapA.

The biological molecule is a single-chain RapA monomer.

The structure of each RapA monomer contains seven domains and three linkers. The domains and linkers are colored according to Figure 2 of the paper describing the structure. Additionally, the sulfate ion is shown as in Figure 2. .

The Ntd contains two copies of a Tudor-like fold ; the two subdomains are referred to as NtdA and NtdB. The Tudor-like fold is also seen in the transcription factors NusG (1npr,1npp,1m1h,1m1g) and Mfd (TRCF, transcription-repair coupling factor -2eyq), as well as ribosomal protein L24 (1jj2), human survival of motor neuron protein (1g5v), mammalian DNA repair factor 53BP1 (2ig0,2g3r), and putative fission yeast DNA repair factor Crb2 (2fhd).

The domains and linkers represented similar to Figure 1 of the paper describing the structure.
